  • Lyric Mariah Heard spoke with "Good Morning America" about her life as a model born with a rare birth defect and using humor to destigmatize limb differences.

The article from ABC News features the story of Rebekah Marine, a model born with a rare birth defect known as Hanhart Syndrome, which resulted in her having one fully formed arm and a shorter limb on the other side. Marine has embraced her unique physical condition to become an advocate for disability awareness and inclusion. She uses humor and her platform in the modeling industry to destigmatize limb differences, aiming to change perceptions and promote acceptance. Her journey includes overcoming personal challenges, such as bullying, and using her experiences to inspire others. Marine's work extends beyond modeling; she has been involved in public speaking, writing, and even designing adaptive clothing, all with the goal of empowering those with disabilities and showcasing that beauty and capability come in all forms.
